Imaging protocol conflict management systems and methods

Abstract

Imaging protocol conflict management systems and methods (e.g., using a computerized tool) are enabled. For example, a system can comprise a memory that stores computer executable components, and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components comprise a conflict component that, according to a defined conflict criterion and based on a comparison of one or more medical device protocols associated with a medical device and one or more library protocols associated with a protocol library, determines a protocol conflict, and an output component that renders an output representative of the protocol conflict.

1 . A system, comprising:
 a memory that stores computer executable components; and   a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory, wherein the computer executable components comprise:   a conflict component that, according to a defined conflict criterion and based on a comparison of one or more medical device protocols associated with a medical device and one or more library protocols associated with a protocol library, determines a protocol conflict; and   an output component that renders an output representative of the protocol conflict.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the computer executable components further comprise:
 a hash component that generates a first hash of a medical device protocol of the one or more medical device protocols and a second hash of a library protocol of the one or more library protocols.   
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the defined conflict criterion comprises a match between the first hash and the second hash. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the defined conflict criterion comprises a match between a first title of a medical device protocol of the one or more medical device protocols and a second title of a library protocol of the one or more library protocols. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the defined conflict criterion comprises a quantity of alphanumeric characters represented in a title of a medical device protocol of the one or more medical device protocols. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the defined conflict criterion comprises a presence of a leading space or a trailing space in a name of a title of a medical device protocol of the one or more medical device protocols. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the defined conflict criterion comprises a first slot number of a medical device protocol of the one or more medical device protocols matching a second slot number of a library protocol of the one or more library protocols. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the defined conflict criterion comprises a presence of a duplication of a protocol. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 8 , wherein the duplication comprises a first set of parameters represented in a medical device protocol of the one or more medical device protocols matching a second set of parameters represented in a library protocol of the one or more library protocols. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the computer executable components further comprise:
 a resolution component that, in response to receiving selection of conflict resolution determined to resolve the protocol conflict, applies the conflict resolution to the protocol conflict.   
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the protocol library is stored in a cloud-based storage communicatively coupled to the medical device. 
     
     
         12 . A method, comprising:
 according to a defined conflict criterion and based on a comparison of one or more medical device protocols associated with a medical device and one or more library protocols associated with a protocol library, determining, by a system comprising a processor, a protocol conflict; and   generating, by the system, an output representative of the protocol conflict.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising:
 rendering, by the system, a graphical user interface, comprising conflict resolution window representative of the protocol conflict, via the medical device.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the conflict resolution window comprises a label indicative of a protocol state of a medical device protocol of the one or more medical device protocols. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the label comprises a new label representative of the medical device protocol existing only on the medical device. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the label comprises a deviated label representative of a medical device protocol of the one or more medical device protocols comprising one or more parameters that deviate from one or more parameters of a library protocol of the one or more library protocols. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the label comprises a deviated label representative of a medical device protocol of the one or more medical device protocols comprising a name that deviates from a name of a library protocol of the one or more library protocols. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein the label comprises a deviated label representative of a medical device protocol of the one or more medical device protocols comprising a slot number that deviates from a slot number of a library protocol of the one or more library protocols. 
     
     
         19 . A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
 according to a defined conflict criterion and based on a comparison of one or more medical device protocols associated with a medical device and one or more library protocols associated with a protocol library, determining a protocol conflict; and   rendering an output representative of the protocol conflict via a user interface of the medical device.   
     
     
         20 . The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of  claim 19 , wherein the medical device comprises x-ray machine, computed tomography scanner, or a magnetic resonance imaging machine.
